Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
What a tragedy. I didn't know Daz well but can only echo what people above have said: whenever I met him he was as interested in and enthusiastic about my modest achievements as he was about his own brilliant performances. He was a gentleman and a top bloke. My deepest sympathies go to all who loved him; the whole fellrunning community is poorer for his loss.

Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
This is really sad news. I have enjoyed some great races against Daz this year and some good chats afterwards. He will be badly missed.
Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
I don 't really come on the forum these days, but wanted to echo what has already been said. I only met Daz a couple of times but his basic decency and kindness was obvious.
Condolences to his family, friends, and all at Pennine.

Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
To echo Pat, he was a true gentleman. His words of support where the best I have ever received.
Daz RIP.
Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
RIP My Mate.
Will miss you.
Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
Very tragic news. I had heard a fell runner had been taken to hospital from the race but didn't know his identity or that he had died till I read Brett's post. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends and I'm sure that includes the whole fell running community.
Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
Terrible news. Daz was one those runners who really represent the heart and soul of the sport - he'd give his all in the race and then always be around for a chat afterwards. He'll be greatly missed. Tom Brunt.
Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
Always enjoyed reading his blog. Sounded like a top guy.
RIP

Re: Darren Holloway (Pennine)
Shocked to hear the news yesterday. His family and friends, particularly a close knit group like Pennine, need all our support now.
You always knew you were in a battle when you were running with Daz - the fells will be a poorer place without him, and I will miss the familiar sight of his Pennine vest and hat combo flying down the hillsides. RIP.
